and, the resolution to expel marjorie taylor greene was introduced before marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert decided to attend the state of the union address so that they could heckle the president. and they didn't stop tackling the president even when he was speaking about soldiers, like his son, who may have developed cancer by being overly exposed to the toxins produced by military burn pits in iraq and afghanistan now. >> a cancer that would put them in a flag draped coffin. i know what -- one of those soldiers was my son, major beau biden. >> when president biden mentioned flag draped coffins, lauren boebert yelled, you put them in 13 of them. she was apparently referring to soldiers killed in the evacuation of afghanistan. after the japanese attack of pearl harbor on december 7th 1941, no one in congress heckled president franklin roosevelt when he spoke to an emergency seven session of the full congress the day after pearl harbor, where 2403 members of the american military were killed in one day. no one blamed the president for that. no one jumped up to yell at preside

they look marjorie taylor greene out, and has been singing from the same look. this? >> a few months later, kevin mccarthy said, would you vote for, and support madison cawthorn for reelection and he said, yes. so, what you have is a party that is split. the pro putin, or anti putin wing of the party. there is four or 5% of the republican party right now. i can't even remember a time when the maga world was so badly out of step with, not just elected republicans, but the republican base. what is important to remember, is that four or 5% have, very loud megaphone's, and they have a tremendous impact, which is why they are regularly featured on russian state tv propaganda. let him or putin is watching tucker carlson, madison cawthorn, and marjorie taylor greene. they are thinking, this reflects what is close to the former president, and maybe a future president of the united states. keep in mind, the entertainment wing of the republican party is the dominant one. they are the end of the republican party. it is kevin mccarthy, and in the most important point, it is

marjorie taylor greene's appearance at that event did not bother former georgia senator david perdue,r governor. he said he will still attend greens event. isn't that awesome? now, a rational person facing that kind of backlash for head raleigh -- maybe not say, show up for the state of the union and scream at the president like you're in the stands of a wwe event. representatives of the states of georgia and colorado, in a desperate plea for the kind of negative attention they really do seem to thrive off of -- george biden's state of the union was really quite good. -- totally possible, even our super fractured partisan government -- i talked to a senator from the state of georgia, raphael warnock right after this. k right after this my wife introduced me to prevagen and so i said "yeah, i'll try it out." i noticed that i felt sharper, i felt like i was able to respond to things quicker. and i thought, yeah, it works for me. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like: try hypnosis... or... quit cold turkey. kidding

it is easy to dismiss people like marjorie taylor greene as just being crazy infringe. e taylor greene. because they are winning seats around the country. the fact remains that the likeliest republican standard there, for president, in 2024, is somebody who tried to pull america out of nato. when he was last president of the united states. he said putin's invasion of ukraine was an active genius. i have a lot of ukraine colleagues who are solid on ukraine, conservative colleagues who are solid in ukraine. he want to paint joe biden as weak. their problem is not joe biden. their problem is in their own party. their problem is sending propaganda to millions of americans every night. so yes, that does worry me. we are, solid nonpartisan in the congress but there is a debate in the republican party which needs to be resolved. in favor of america, our allies, and democracy. and it hasn't been resolved. >> congressman, we appreciate your insight. thank you, congressman tom malinowski in new jersey. some has the best we offer sport is a hot meal and some comfort. -- world centr

madison cawthorn is part of, that marjorie taylor greene is part of that.t take advantage of those people. how big is that worldwide? as a 10%? i'm not sure. is it larger in the united states? probably. are they going to coalesce around this over the next few weeks and months, i would guess almost certainly, yes. >> and collins, thank you as always. that's all in on this thursday night. the rachel maddow show starts with ali velshi. good evening, ali. ali velshi. good evening, ali. >> there was a chilling conversation. we'll see you tomorrow night. thanks for joining us this hour. thanks to your home for joining us this hour, i'm in i'm in budapest, the capital of budapest. the capital of hungry. hungry over 150 miles east of where we are, is hungary's border with ukraine, where i was last. that entire border is only 84 miles long, but nearly 1 million ukrainian refugees have come over that border, fleeing the russian invasion of their own country. it i

against marjorie taylor greene in georgia. lisa murkowski got the solid support of her colleagues in the senate and mitch mcconnell. getting people like that reelected. then you saw just duncan who's going to be a great future leader as our moderator here. i am confident you may not agree with governor kemp on everything but for commitment as an opportunistic trumpet lackey is not going to win that race. so be of good cheer. what we've seen internationally this weekend, things had turned on a dime. you've seen the weathervane politicians are trying to run a back know i was with you i was with you. i never liked putin, i never liked him. [laughter] you're going to set break more and more. all of us former as well as liz, adam, mitt romney, many of their colleagues are quietly cheering them on kind of like francis stewart in helping from behind it. look for help wherever we can get. we get somebody who comes in and wants to help a little here and there, as long as it means we can get this cancer out of our party and get us back

why all of a sudden anger at this and not marjorie taylor greene or whatever?in fact today endorse the challenger. it is, i think, the kind of thing that some congressmen found they were getting questions about. what's this about you guys all participating -- >> are you doing key bumps? >> and that, i guess, annoyed them. but it is sort of an amazing thing that this is the final straw for cawthorne not calling zelenskyy a thug. >> this is about them, that's why. they're getting questions from their constituents. do you participate in orgies and do cocaine? they went into kevin mccarthy, the minority leader, and said you've got to deal with this. but if paul gosar in an animated cartoon threatens the life of a democratic congresswoman. >> when you talk to your sources on the hill, how do they explain this very selective outrage? first of all, i didn't know what a key bump was. it's apparently doing cocaine on a key. so thank you for congresswoman cawthorne for educating me as to that. what are people saying on the hill? >> what democrats are saying is it just sh

that award goes to congressdemons lauren boebert and marjorie taylor greene, who took a break from yellingt the busboys at applebees to yell at the president. they heckled him just as he was talking about his deceased son, beau. here they are. looking like they're five hard seltzers deep in a "thunder down under" show in vegas. [ laughter ] it was embarrassing. even some of their fellow republicans were embarrassed. but as irritating as their behavior was, we do have freedom of speech in this country. which means i can remind you that lauren boebert is married to a guy who went to jail for showing his penis to a teenager at a bowling alley. [ laughter ] and marjorie taylor greene spent last weekend speaking at a conference organized by a pro-putin white nationalist. klan mom, this woman has so many issues when it comes to people wearing masks. when it comes to people wearing hoods? none at all. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] two of the moments that got some attention last night were ad libbed, were not in the script. when he said putin "has no idea what's coming," that was an off the

he certainly doesn't want to make it about marjorie taylor green or paul kosar.cceptable. it gave the impression he is going to follow up somehow. i don't know exactly what that's going to be. what he and mccarthy and mcconnell realize while republicans are close to taking back control of congress. it's not because the american people are all of a sudden back in love with republicans. they're not in love with the crazy side, which marjorie taylor green represents. so it's not surprising mitch mcconnell didn't bring it up. you would much better have joe biden and the low approval ratings in response to the state of the union. >> that's the next piece, you are right. he wants to be talking. he has been clear for folks, that he wants to be talking ab democrats and president biden. what he ended up is talking about rick scott. this very interesting and very public and growing more public divide between the mcconnell way of the party and the sentiment our friends at punch bowl news are reporting rick scott agenda some republicans feel does not represent what they want

meanwhile, palin 3.0, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene, last week you may have heard, she confused word gestapo with gazpacho. we all made fun of her. so last night, klan mom zoomed in with oan where host dan ball bent over so far he could taste his own last name to butter up his big-name guest. >> marjorie taylor greene, congresswoman, thanks for coming on the program. cnn ripped you, msnbc, jimmy who-cares kimmel calling you a klan mom for the trump stormtroopers, whatever, they're so disgusting over there. but you've been having fun with this. it's a slip of the tongue. it happens. i screw stuff up. everybody does when you're on live tv rolling and rifting, right? >> jimmy: yeah, right, just rolling and rifting. whatever rifting is, i'm not exactly sure. so then, to make some kind of point about how unfairly they're treated, dan, who comes off like seems to be, what would happen if kirk cameron went to the columbia school of broadcasting. showed a series of clips of president biden getting things wrong. >> in the cvc parking lots and walgreen parking lots. i forget the other one

on top of everything else that's going on right now, i'm so mad that i have to care what marjorie taylor greene people, says and does. this is a person who at best should have her picture on the door of a ruby tuesday's below the words "do not admit" because she tried to steal feta from the salad bar. lll and yet, depressingly, i have to care because a large portion of the republican party is defending her, even celebrating her, despite, just as one of many recent examples, her participation in a white nationalist conference in fact, this weekend, she also did a truly head-spinning interview where she defended her attempt to help trump overturn the election on january 6th and doubled down on the big lie that the election was stolen, while essentially admitting she had no proof. >> i proudly objected on january 6th. i would object again today because i know for a fact there was so much wrong in that election, and i believe it was stolen do i know how? no, i don't know how >> seth: oh, well, you know --e well, don't let that stop you. [ laughter ] if you're at the zoo and one of the attendants is

understood the assignment. [ laughter ] during last night's speech, republican congresswomen marjorie taylor greeneren boebert heckled and booed president biden on several occasions. in their defense, he is technically the manager. [ laughter ] and that, technically, was a joke [ laughter ] technically. during president biden's state of the union address last night, he accidentally said "iranian" instead of "ukrainian." well, in a speech where he had to pronounce volodymyr zelenskyy and ketanji brown jackson, something had to give. [ laughter ] according to a new poll, 71% of americans who watched president biden's state of the union address had a positive reaction to the speech. but let's be honest, everyone who would have had a negative reaction was watching "yellowstone." [ laughter ] according to a new survey, new york has the highest median rent price for a one bedroom apartment in the country well, yeah, but it's all about location, location - [ metro car rumbling ] location [ laughter ] and finally, major league baseball announced yesterday that they are postponing their march 31st opening d

we're seeing voices on there in the republican party, individuals like marjorie taylor green, and others accusing joe biden, them trying to get the country into a war with russia and using russia to distract from his own failures. so it's not as universal as one might think. if one viewed american broadcast, but currently the atmosphere in the united states is very anti russian. they are mobilized in the public to have russia. but it's not addressing the problems, global serving right, right. hard times for all of us kayla molten, alive from new york. okay. thank you very much. your up to date have more news in our website, all c dot com. ah ah, ah. aah ukraine. a big and rich country that's always been hand in hand with russia. until recently. 2014, a qu divides ukraine and leads to fratricidal war and on bus. a war that continues to this day on the edge of a large field near lo, ganske, the mass grave. local say that the people buried here are mostly civilians who are allegedly killed by ukrainian paramilitary groups in the summer of 2014 or so does this noted on mr. alcorda, what did

marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert.ng heckling his late son. >> 13 of them. >> one of those soldiers was my son, beau biden. >> in apparent reference to the number of service members killed during the chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan. the president's speech immediately panned by kim reynolds who gave the republican response. >> it is time to lead. but we can't project strength abroad when we're weak at home. >> reporter: in the end, president biden praising americans' resistance and resolve. >> the state of the union is strong because you the american people are strong. >> in an exclusive interview, san mateo state senator beckwith spoke this morning. he said the push for bipartisanship will be good for key health issues moving forward. >> he talked about mental health. i've seen that throughout my district. in my own family with the pandemic. it has been really difficult to declare that as a bipartisan issue. attacking cancer and doubling down on the war against cancer as a bipartisan issue, again, something very pe

biden was repeatedly heckled by a pair of far-right republicans, marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert, with some in their own party criticizing their actions. >> whether you agree or disagree with the president, i believe during the state of the union, we should all show respect to the president. >> reporter: as for ukraine, tonight nbc news has learned the u.s. has delivered hundreds of stinger missiles this week to ukraine, weapons that are capable of taking out russian aircraft lester >> kristen, thank you. >>> in his speech, the president noted the shifting approach to the pandemic saying we're in a much better place and announcing a new plan to deal with covid. with more on that, here's miguel almaguer >> reporter: transitioning from pandemic to endemic, today the white house covid task force briefing in person for the first time in more than a year, said americans must learn to live with the virus, laying out a new plan to move forward. >> we are clearly going in the right direction. >> reporter: unveiling a 96-page document with 4 main goals, the white house will still focus on

he is seeking to appease the marjorie taylor green, paul goes-r, for them having their committee stripped aside. in the glorification of violence against other members of congress. this is his way of saying, i will pay back. and it reflects how weak a hold he has on the republican conference that he has to do the bidding under his most extreme members. >> let's turn to another piece of news you made. you took him this week at the citizens united decision. this was back in 2010. supreme court case in which the justices ruled corporations and unions were rmitted to give unlimited campaign contributions because it was an expression of free speech. but that is led to a lot of money being moved around over the system in the last several years. your amendment would essentially overturn citizens united. could you tell us about the amendment and what they would do? >> who do a couple things. it would overturn citizens united but it would go back to acase three or four decades ago, a postwar gate where the supreme court struck down watergate reforms that limited independent expenditures. citizens

going to be someone like governor reynolds of iowa or is it former president donald trump, marjorie taylor green of georgia? the republican challenges, they have strong poll numbers, they feel good about their chances, but the face of the party, who is it going to be? former president trump, as i saw over the weekend in florida, he still wants himself to be the face of the g.o.p. >> robert, do you think other republicans will speak out against marjorie taylor green and lauren boebert? do you think they will say that was not okay and we disagree with that kind of behavior? >> gayle, it means on what you mean biff speaking out. we've seen muted statements and e-mails to reporters but who's going to make a full throated cry about this trend in the republican towards the former president and even at times toward white nationalism. this is something we have to track as reporters an important story as we move toward the midterm election it is. >> when i say speaking out, i say out loud so everybody can hear in a public forum. >> o'donnell: stand by. coming up, we'll hear the republican response from i

>> can you respond to marjorie taylor green attending the white nationalist conference over the weekend ? >> might i commented on that yesterday. i understand your job. i understand what you're trying to do. i've commented on that. we've got a war in europe we have not had since world war ii. we've got people in the village and others and you can take my statement and as i said yesterday and played one more time. >> what specific weapons are republicans willing to fund in this upcoming funding bill. we've seen the guardact and what that entails. are we talking about antiaircraft and antimissile systems ? how far would republicans be willing to go on this? >> we've seen what does ukraine need to defend itself? antitank missiles,air defense support, they need ammunition . they need rifles, machine guns and others. they've got a long list that they've provided to us. i'll leave the military experts to tell us. we got a lot of military experts behind me and we will be there. the real challenge is just as i asked the president months before why wouldn't you send them in? if you send them bef

some of that coming from representative marjorie taylor. greene madison says it is simply not justified or okay from either side. pam and ken. >> all right, katherine, thank you for that hearing. dates have been set for president biden supreme court nominee, the senate judiciary committee will begin the nomination process for ketanji brown jackson on march. 21st committee chairman durbin announced a senator durbin announced the schedule today as jackson holds her first meetings with senators on capitol hill, including with majority leader chuck schumer and republican mitch mcconnell. hearings will last for days with opening statements followed by questioning and testimony. if confirmed, jackson will be the first black woman to serve on the nation's highest court. >> coming up at 6, the 2022 baseball season is in limbo. and that does not just affect the players. what the lockout means for workers in the bay area. san francisco unified school district authorities have approved contentious layoff plans. we have details on how many teachers could be o

can you please respond to marjorie taylor greene attending the white nationalist conference over the weekend? mr. mccarthy: i commented on that on yesterday. i understand your job. i understand what you are trying to do. i have already commented on that. we've got a war in europe that we have not had since world war ii. we have people in the village and others and you can take my statement and i said yesterday and play it one more time. reporter: what specific weapons are republicans willing to fund in this upcoming spending bill? we have seen the guard act and what that entails. are we talking about anti-aircraft and anti-missile systems? new jets? how far would republicans be willing to go on this? mr. mccarthy: what does ukraine need to defend themselves? first anti-tank missiles? they need air defense support. they need ammunition. they need rifles, machine guns and others. they have the long list they have provided to us. i'll leave the military experts to tell us. we have a lot of military experts directly behind me. we will be there. the real challenge is just as i asked the p

when we get people like josh hawley, ted cruz, marjorie taylor greene, ron johnson, and lindsey graham, we are going backwards to the days of hugo black. one more thing: there are two things. race and religion. it is something that is taught. we are not born with. we are teaching people to hate people. we need to love each other and stop this hate. i cannot stand it. stop it. host: what you think about his comments about hugo black? natalie: the court has long been a reflection of the u.s. as a whole. the impact has changed and adapted as the u.s. community has over the centuries. i think there are fair faults to be found in the history of the supreme court and in many of its rulings. you can tell by past justices, we have often talked about the supreme court's history on our podcast. it is always fascinating to delve into how things change, how views on particular subjects change over the course of the years and the centuries. a few months back, maybe it was last year, we had authors speak to how there have been issues with racial inequities within rulings from the supreme court and h

this is congressman eric swalwell who seem to point the finger at marjorie taylor greene and not laurenoebert. saying as the president spoke about his son, it he said it was marjorie taylor greene who spoke over him. the congressman from gas we are better than this. it was lauren boebert who made those comments. this is congressman steve: on his twitter feed from just about -- referring back to this incident and lauren boebert saying her outburst came moments before president biden's comments. this is steve: saying -- embarrassment to colorado, republicans and her family. show business money absorbed terrorist is what the congressman from tennessee of that committee wrote on twitter just a few minutes ago. one more about lauren boebert because she was making a statement on the house floor even before she spoke up during biden's comments. this is what she was wearing on the house floor. a scarf there saying drill, baby, drill. that is what was written on that scarf. many members of congress, the vestment -- the vast majority of members of congress not wearing a mask. that is because the

this system and no one except for a few people including you, tucker, and a few people like marjorie taylor greene speaking out about this unconstitutional, inhumane abuse of political protesters simply because they protested the election and are basically dissident pluralists of joe biden. >> tucker: quick legal question. could any of that money be used to get real legal representation for people sitting in jail because they attended a rally for him. would that be possible to do? >> yes, the appellee could and a lot of these people have public defenders, they have not been able to hire criminal attorneys. there has also been a huge vacuum in the republican party, not just people speaking up but actually coughing up money, coming up with lawyers and money to help these desperate people who are trapped and have nowhere else to turn and our political leaders are for the most part have completely abandon these americans. >> tucker: human rights violation. i appreciate you calling attention to it. >> thank you. >> tucker: d platforming happened yesterday. you aren't on twitter. you shouldn't be on tw

. >> stephen: i can't believe he made a direct attack on marjorie taylor greene. ( laughter ) ( cheerslause ) then-- >> jon: oh! >> stephen: biden ended with a rousing salute to america. >> we are the only nation on earth that has always turned every crisis we have faced into an opportunity. the only nation that can be defined by a single word. >> stephen: stuffed-crust! wait, that's two. crunchtastic? bennifer? ( laughter ) i'm sorry, mr. president. i interrupted. you were talking about the state of the union? >> my report is this: the state of the union is strong because you, the american people, are strong. ( applause ) we are stronger today-- we are stronger today than we were a year ago. >> stephen: that's true, but it's a pretty low bar. a year ago, we weren't wearing pants and our asses had merged with our couches. ( laughter ) but all in all, in the end, it was a powerful speech at a moment of global crisis, and biden brought it home with a rousing call to national greatness: >> this is our moment. to meet and overcome the challenges of our time, and we will as one people, one

i will say that i am concerned though that donald trump and marjorie taylor greene and madison hawthorned they keep calling zelenskyy a thug. that type of discord makes it hard when president biden needs to ask all americans to unite around democracy in ukraine. >> president zelenskyy also said today that ukraine is more united than ever and that the ukrainian forces have inflicted the biggest blow to russia's army in decades. what does that tell you about the resilience and strength of the ukrainian people? >> well, the spirit of ukrainians is very inspiring right now. we are definitely, we are very united. politically. and on every level. in a civil society. in every village, people are helping each other. it's incredible. but i want also to add what is important and what we're asking from the west right now is really to stop the trade and to impose more economic measures so that we actually don't have any resources that are financing putin's terrorism and war crimes. so it's very important that what is planned to be done from the united states is going to come into this full force and

that are schilling, that are shamefully schilling for putin, like madison cawthorn, like marjorie taylor greener, and others who seem to think that it's better for them to use this as a criticism of joe biden, to somehow twist this and question joe biden's leadership as a bait and switch to take away from the fact they're once again using -- being used as useful idiots by vladimir putin. it's shameful. >> i have to say, the similarities between donald trump and vladimir putin are astounding, tara. you have americans asking the question of why it seems some russians, right, believe vladimir putin and what he's putting out there. and i can't help but wonder, do they not remember the 2020 election and the big lie by donald trump? do they not remember the 2016 election and how he launched his initial campaign when he was then candidate donald trump, the same thing has happened here in the united states that are happening in russia. >> yeah, it's extraordinary. and in the piece, i say that a lot of what they're doing is smoke and mirrors. pay no attention to the man behind the iron curtain and the f

throughout his speech representatives marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert were heckling biden.they are, right here. yeah [ laughter ] so, like the qanon statler and waldorf.

he's going to support marjorie taylor greene for re-election.the anti-semitism, the showing up at white nationalism conferences, that's okay, that's acceptable. but liz cheney telling the truth about january 6th means she gets ousted and it takes madison cawthorn talking about cocaine and orgies to get him tossed out so this is one who was willing to tolerate everything up until that moment. you don't have a liberal democracy that functions unless people are held accountable, and unless people are willing to stand up for the rule of law and defend the constitution. and if that becomes, you know, a death penalty issue for one of the major political parties, that's a very bad omen. >> and it is sort of this structural reality that i wanted to ask you about, anne, and how our allies and our adversaries look at, you know, we have a very closely divided and very tight public support for donald trump, who's the most prominent republican in this country still, and president joe biden, our incumbent president. they're neck and neck, and i understand tha

now sometimes there is marjorie taylor greene ridiculousness, but i think this idea that like, all ofe don't like ron desantis is something that will serve him well, potentially. >> could galvanize the base as well. look, we talk about this tension as well between desantis and trump. as you near a presidential election, those voters that did gravitate toward the president because he tapped into a certain grievance that was felt across the country, by specifically targeting some of the entities that you were just describing, that is something that is mimicked here by the florida governor as well. i mean, one thing in -- in thomas's piece that you were previewing before, he talked about how you have these series of headlines, that have gone out, you know, desantis berates reporter at press conference, there are some that would say, that is actually something that is going to continue to galvanize some of his followers moving forward. and i just want to follow up on something paul was saying because when it comes to other side of this coin, while republicans continue to tap into what we'

reaction, not just from the white house, but from capitol hill too, including from congresswoman marjorie taylor greene in her own right, who said that this idea in her words, is dangerous and unhinged. >> that's right. so when lindsey graham tweeted last night, perhaps it was just a tweet of passion, but he decided to double down on fox news this morning. that's when the reactions and responses started coming down. of course, the russian ambassador completely criticized the tweet, saying that it's unconscionable and uncalled for. but members of his own party who are also very adamant that president biden take very, very tough responses to vladimir putin and to russia and what they're doing in okay said that this is not okay. senator ted cruz is one of those, as you mentioned, saying, we don't take out leaders of other countries. that instead, you need to sanction russia, you need to supply the ukrainians with ammunition and with defense capabilities and that is where the actual conversation is happening on capitol hill. it's not about vladimir putin or putting troops into ukraine to fight russian sold

blame putin and only 3% of them aligned themselves with the views of medicine cawthorn and marjorie taylor greenes, joe kent a congressional candidate for the republicans in washington state. the villain here is zelenskyy and the ukrainians. they are not buying them. republicans are in favor of providing upstanding with the ukrainians providing them weapons. there even in favor of establishing a no-fly zone. republicans, democrats and independents alike. what is interesting to me as putin has succeeded in a very rare thing is unifying all the factions in america. republicans, democrats and independents and a strong response is turning out the neo- isolationist wing of the republican party, madison called zelenskyy a thug and referred to ukrainian government as extraordinarily evil. that is blowing up in his face in a north carolina primary. >> that will be an interesting thing to watch. you are in the white house in 2002 which was one of the rare times when a party occupying the white house and gained seats in congress. people have not expected that for this midterm democrats down in the polls bu

marjorie taylor greene raise $3 million in the third does first quarter of this year. some people like the approach, right and left. there are still a lot of people who do understand all of that. we have appropriation bills and have to pass the ndaa and raise the debt ceiling. we have the skill set to get it done but it is difficult because we try to do it and if i am against that, i will bring these people with me and you won't have the votes to bring it down. cut the deal, come back, and everybody says good. they're gone. we have to bring these people in. it is a 50-50 call. the most important thing is between now and february 18, to get all of the appropriators in a room and actually start negotiating. we cannot start negotiating from agreeing to everything i want. we have caucuses. we are not going to get what the caucuses are asking for. we do have to at least try. i would say in the next 30 days, the issue is now february 18. . we know what we have to do in the decision is whether we can do it. >> what are some of the priorities that would be a danger for another

the republican party does the party of marjorie taylor greene, who doesn't see a problem with speakingt white nationalist conferences. the republican party is the cardio ron desantis and greg anthony. they attack our career -- queer and trans kids. the party of kevin mccarthy, a man who would rather count for donald trump than kick the white supremacist out of his caucus. the republican party is the party of ron johnson, who wants to find guys reviewing the affordable care act and take away all caps or millions of americans. the republican party is the party of rick scott, who wants to raise taxes on half america's. the republican party is the party of -- a party build on fraud, fear, and fascism. the republican party is a party that turns a blind guy to the attack on our capital. the vice president and speakers were threatened. a tribute to the late john lewis was destroyed. a party that sees that tragic day as legitimate political discourse. this country cannot afford republican leadership. to elect democrats across the country. we committed nearly $48 million and increased our partn

one of those lawmakers is the republican congresswoman marjorie taylor green of georgia. records show she bought stock in the defense contractor lockheed martin just one day before the invasion started last month. lockheed martin and raytheon jointly make these missile launchers called javelins, united states already sent thousands to ukraine and president biden just promised the country thousands more to help defend against the russian forces on the same day congresswoman green made the lockheed investment also tweeted in part, war and rumors of war is incredibly profitable and convenient later responded to criticism of the investment saying our investment adviser has full discretionary authority over our accounts we have owned this american company for years and this small investment was part of our overall investment strategy. the critics say lawmakers should not be able to trade individual stocks they receive all sorts of information the rest of us do not, and there's a new push to pass a bill that bans lawmakers from doing exactly that. cnbc senior congressional corr

lawmakers such as madison and marjorie taylor greene. are advocating for an america first strategy.ve vocal supporters in far right media. we have heard many times the republican party might be ready to break with the trump wing. but is something different this time around? >> the difference is that donald trump isn't necessarily at the forefront of it. you have the chief imitation and they don't carry the force. or have the popularity that donald trump had. the national platform and name recognition that donald trump had. so the america first foreign policy with donald trump what was that really about? the cult of donald trump. now you see the republican party more serious members of the republican party this is actually a moment where they have to respond to a major crisis in the world. that can quickly cascade and turn into nuclear war. are they going to believe able to sit around and prop up and parrot the america first talking points that are about nothing. or are they going to actually stand for a reasonable foreign policy that is what the times demand. given the pressure and

you have these people out here like marjorie taylor greene who are being useful idiots of the kremlinn fox news and tucker carlson who is being used as propaganda, a propaganda puppet for russia. that should tell you something. but you don't see republicans boycotting fox. you don't see them saying this is irresponsible what you are doing here, taking putin's side. you don't see that. the record is very clear. what we saw for years and years of donald trump being putin's puppet. so it's -- i don't know what else to say other than that democrats need to take advantage of this and flip the script on them politically because republicans have dominated the national security space for so long. but they have advocated that moral high ground by supporting donald trump for all those years and still continuing to embrace it even after he called putin a genius and savvy and continues to play footsy with putin while putin is killing innocent children. democrats need to use this to their advantage and turn it around on republicans and make people see either you are on the side of democracy or you
